Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Will Be a Core Sparring Partner For Pacquiao

[Wreckless]

Amir Khan will be 10 times better than whoever Mayweather's sparring partner will be.

this is a bad idea amir khan is no where near as good as mayweather!

And who's he gonna get to be as good as pacquiao????? I doubt he'll get a current world champion either!!!!!

[BetterCallSaul]

The fact is, your not going to get anybody who is an exact replica for Floyd Mayweather. The best you can do is get a quick puncher, with a great jab, and great movement. Khan fits that description perfectly. Plus sparring with Pac, will give Khan great preperation for whoever he fights next.

Can someone tell me how being used as a sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao is any sort of "reward"????? Lol.

Come on man. It is rare you could get anyone as good as Mayweather. Pac should get Guzman.

[wXh..]

Its is quite simple actyually. Pacquiao will use Khan for defense. Khan will be used to unload punches on Pacquiao. This will keep Manny sharp and get used to countering jabs. Pacquiao should use Guzman for his offense

[rao007]

People, Roach is using Khan becuase like Mayweather they have similar speed, reach, and maybe strength but what is most important is KHAN SPARRED WITH MAYWEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Khan has a better chance of emulating Mayweather with his quickness, reach, power than ANY sparring partner Roach might also get.

[TOMA BOXIMG]

Tomato Khan is the wrong sparring partner for Pac. This is just a promotional

hype to get Tomato Khan into the US Market. England doesnt want this bum and neighter do we. He is so fake. He acts like he is humbel, tries to appeal to Brits, tries to appeal to ******s, and now trying to appeal to Americans. Go away Tomato Khan we have enough over hyped fighters we dont need another one. Paper champ.

can someone keep us updated on how many times Amir's glass gets shattered?

Who cares???
With headgears and 16 oz gloves he will stay on his feet.

Amir get destroyed,but does he get ever outboxed??

Skillwise,Speedwise he never get outboxed tought he has a glass jaw.

Amir will have a career ala Wladimir Klitschko.
He's medalist,has all the tools,but his chin will make him lose sometimes.

Tough,winning 12 rounds against Kotelnik and knockin Salita in oe isn't that bad.
I mean,Salita is a true hype job,Amir isn't,he has an amateur pedigree and a world title successfully defended.
Since when a world champ is a bad sparring.

I will never compare Kahn to Mayweather,Mayweather has a great chin and a great defense,Kahn doesn't all.
But all I know is Kahn's handspeed is comparable,match Mayweather's.
And Kahn has a long reach as well,even longer.

Kahn with those longs fast arms is a good sparring,but it an't enough,they need a good Philly shell defense sparring as well.
